Prince Charles is probably the most popular and eagerly sought after member of any Royal Family and the announcement of his engagement to Lady Diana Spencet was greeted with joy the world over.

          As a child the Prince was shy and reserved and this book looks at the absolute dedication with which he has tackled his duties to become the joke-cracking extrovert he appears today. Charles, A Prince of Our Time studies the effect of a changing world on the monarchy, with the problems and pressures exerted on the heir apparent. His life at school and university, his love of the outdoor life and his fairy-tale romance with Lady Diana Spencer are all covered.
